Sea N Shore (Global Shipping Community) is operated by Beaufort Marine Services LLP, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. In these terms, "Sea N Shore", "we" and "us" mean Beaufort Marine Services LLP.

Professional and lawful use

Members are responsible for the accuracy of information they submit and for using jobs, learning, messaging and community features professionally and lawfully.

Do not impersonate another person or organisation, post fraudulent vacancies, misuse another member's information, or use the platform to distribute harmful, deceptive, infringing or unlawful content.

Professional verification and trust signals improve context but do not replace a member's own due diligence before entering employment, commercial or training arrangements.

User content and intellectual property

You retain ownership of the original content and intellectual-property rights you hold in material you post, upload or otherwise provide to Sea N Shore.

When you submit user-generated content, you grant Sea N Shore a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, technically format, display and distribute that content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure and provide the platform, including making it available to the audience you choose. This licence does not transfer ownership of your content to Sea N Shore.

The licence continues for as long as the content remains on the service and may continue only to the extent reasonably necessary for backups, legal compliance, dispute handling, safety records or content that other members have independently shared or incorporated into permitted platform activity.

You must have the rights and permissions needed for anything you upload. Do not post copyrighted images, videos, documents, articles, logos, course materials or other protected works unless you own them, have permission, or another lawful basis allows the use.

Sea N Shore materials

The Sea N Shore name, branding, interface, software, original platform content and other materials supplied by Sea N Shore or its licensors remain protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms do not grant members ownership of those materials.

If you believe content on Sea N Shore infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, use the content's Report control and choose Copyright or intellectual property infringement. Provide enough information to identify the original work, the material complained of, and your ownership or authority to act.

Copyright complaints enter the platform moderation queue for review. Sea N Shore may request additional information, restrict or remove content while a complaint is assessed, preserve relevant records, restore content where appropriate, and take action against repeated or abusive misuse of the platform.

See the Copyright & IP Policy for the reporting workflow and information to include in a complaint.

Payments, plans and paid content

  • Payments on Sea N Shore are processed by our payment gateway, Cashfree Payments.
  • Prices are in Indian rupees (INR) and include applicable taxes where this is stated at checkout. You see the exact amount before you pay.

  • For paid events and courses, Sea N Shore acts as a marketplace: we collect the payment on behalf of the event organiser or trainer and pay them their share, minus a platform fee.
